Hi,
I have another post in discrimination/harrassment and this is part of that but not the same thing. I was given 6 months of back pay because my manager did not input my release from a medical leave of absence until six months after I was released even though I contacted him and HR constantly asking why I was still listed as being on LOA.
Anyway, I have been trying to get my back pay for a while now because they messed it all up. They actually deducted about 3/4 of my pay to pay for benefits I already paid for.
And, they are also trying to tell me I have to pay back some money that my company had direct deposited into my bank account. I went on LOA September 07 and I was very sick and did not notice the direct deposit of funds from my company until a couple of months later. I did not know what it was for because I was not supposed to receive a pay check for this LOA. So, I called the humane resources department and asked them why I was getting this money. The representative told me it was benefit pay from my 401K account. I was worried they were not right so I called again and received the same answer. I called a total of four times and spoke to four different people and they all told me the same thing. I asked them if they were absolutely sure that I was supposed to receive this money and not have to pay it back. They told me that I had nothing to worry about and I was supposed to receive that money.
Now, I have been trying to straighten out my back pay so they are having to review all my pay information back to 02/04/08 and they told me I was over paid by $3845.23 and they will have to deduct that from the amount they still owe me. I explained what their representatives had told me about the direct deposits and I have ticket numbers and I wrote everything down in my journal but the representative I was talking to, could not seem to be able to go back that far to see the notes about this. I know they tape all their calls and are supposed to log everything I said when I called and it produces a ticket number which they give you when you finish your call with them.
Is there anything I can do? I have been treated like a leper since I returned to work and my manager had pushed my return LOA return date from 02/04/08 to 07/21/08 and kept telling me there were no positions available even though they ahd at least 10 temporary employees working all that time. Company policy states an employee returning to work after an LOA, is to be returned to active work if there is any positions and before any temporary employee, as long as the regular employee returns to work within a two year time period. And, now the pay mess up is just one of many many wrongs I have endured from my manager and HR.
Can anyone please tell me what the laws are regarding this situation, if any???
Thank you!!!!
